Thanks again everyone! I plan to put this thing in a proper case - just need to find one that will fit it properly. There are one or two buldging caps on the board that I'd like to replace as well, but I will be throwing up some Unreal benchmark #'s and I can certainly do 3D Mark 2001 @ 640x480 and defaults.

HAHAHA! Between Skyscrapers fapping comment and now this... I pretty much spit out my coffee laughing.

That is one card I don't think I would be running incase I destroyed it.

Everybody dreams to buy one of those but not sure how many folks are willing to pay the hefty price tag

congrats - is a joy to see the grandfather in action 😀

To be fair to Artex he often receives criticism for perceived hoarding of parts, so I think this project demonstrates he truly has the heart of an enthusiast.

VERY nice piece of hardware, congratulations! Keep running that beast.

THANK you! AMEN! Apparently these folks have also missed my "build of the week" series.

Really nice card!!! Would be interesting for what prices rare cards like the V5-6k will change the owner. The V5-5500 is mainly at 80-120...

I have seen also the uploaded video. This 'test' system has nothing to do with silent anymore 😉
It's hard to select the noise from the four AAVID's infront of the highspeed CPU cooler. When i see the POST screen it is clear: 4326 rpm...
For me this cooler is too loud. I don't know the rpm of my socket A cooler but a have also an additional air cooling control 12V to 7V.

I think the last one sold for over 2000 Euros 😀

I´m very happy to see this part of history is still working, congrats!

I had a few Vodoos and regret to sold my V5 5500 PCI(on the box!), but was for a friend that collects them too, she´s happy!

These KT333 boards are very good, I think that they where the best SocketA for their time at new, not too hot, scales very well on overclock and rock solid. I had a Abit KX7-333R, so good!

I wait for news!! 😀

Is it a 3700 A right? Nice card!

Yep - you're correct. Unfortunately life got a little busy right around the time this card arrived and I haven't been able to update this thread with any juicy benchmarks/screenshots/etc. Hopefully I'll have some more time this Spring.

Dear 3Dfx fans! I also have a V5 6000 with Hank Rework Rev. 3700A. 😀
I have make a video of two games from 2002 (2 years after 3Dfx was gone!) that runs very well on the 6K, Mafia 1 (D3D) and Jedi Knight 2 (OpenGL) with 1280x1024x16 and 2xFSAA! 😀

Mafia 1 on the Voodoo5 6000 AGP
Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast on the Voodoo5 6000 AGP

I hope this is ok to post it here?

I wonder what it could cost for a small batch could be made provided everything needed for the job is still available as nos but with an improved pcb. Certainly would get some people wet if a pci-e version could be designed and be produced.

Are you the guy that put plydoo all over a voodoo6000?

No, no that is my only 6K. I have not had it so long.

Do you know how Voodoo cards works ? They seems to rely a lot on 'more chips for doing more work', like a SLI but on the same card. Is it really the case ? Or each of the four chips do different tasks ?
Their cards always had a LOT of chips (except Voodoo3) which would cost a lot of money, while other manufacturers improved performance while staying single-chip

And that's why my Barton is on water (240 rad low fpi with 900 rpm fans), those old socket A CPU cooler fans ran loud like hell and still their cooling was poor. Then again on a voodoo 5 6k I would likely have strapped a 240 mm aluminium heatsink and would've used 2 120mm fans for silence.
